NotesIn this seventh episode, Mila Khyentse Rinpoche and Grégoire Langouet present one of the central triptychs of Dzogchen teachings known as "Base, Path, and Fruition," with a focus on fruition, which is the outcome of the Dzogchen path. In this episode, we delve deeper into the definition of this 'fruition' and the concept of the 'vehicle of the result.' Additionally, we explore what happens to a master who has traversed the path and achieved the result, and how the realization manifests in her or his experience.Host: VincentRecap and takeaways“What is Dzogchen?" series, Episode 7: The Result1.What is meant by "fruition "?

NotesIn this sixth episode, Mila Khyentse Rinpoche and Damien Brohon present one of the central triptychs of the Dzogchen teachings called "Base, Path, and Fruition", focusing on the Path. During this episode, we discover what “path” really means according to the tradition, and how to walk it. Moreover, we learn about the steps of the practice on the path, and we came to understand that we need to be guided by an authentic master.Host: VincentRecap and takeaways“What is Dzogchen?" series, Episode 6: The Path of Dzogchen1- What is meant by “path” in Dzogchen?

NotesIn this fifth episode of the "What is Dzogchen?" series, Mila Khyentse Rinpoche and Damien Brohon present one of the central triptychs of the Dzogchen teachings called "Base, Path, and Fruition", focusing on the Base, which is the basis of reality. In this episode, we discover the specific characteristics of the Base and its various modes of manifestation. Moreover, we come to understand that the Basis of reality is the fundamental nature of our mind, which is potentially both the primordial Base and the Base of all phenomena.Host: VincentRecap and takeaways“What is Dzogchen?" serie, Episod 5 : The Base according to the Great Perfection1- General presentation of the triptych “Base-Path-Fruition” - 1'34 (question) // 1'43 (answer)2- What is meant by Base – 3'35 // 3'383- What are the characteristics of the Ground/Base - 6'40 // 7'054- What are the 3 modes of manifestation of the Base - 13'56 // 14'365- What is the distinction between primordial Ground and Ground of all the phenomena - 18'58 // 19'09

About Our Guest "Autumn Kern is a wife, mother, and keeper of an actual commonplace book. When she was twenty-one, she sat under a tree with a man who told her the woman he married would homeschool his children. Handsome as he was, she didn't anticipate being that woman, but here she is with three little ones in tow, and, as in all God's providential ways, it has been the greatest gift" (TheCommonplacePodcast.com). Autumn writes, produces, and hosts The Commonplace Podcast and Youtube channel.Consider joining a community of Charlotte Mason mother teachers (and Trae) and supporting Autumn's work through Patreon here. NotesIn this episode, Autumn Kern shares with Trae some of her journey from discovering classical education through an internet quiz taken on a lark to becoming someone who delights in reading Plato and Aristotle and putting into practice the educational philosophy of Charlotte Mason. While Autumn has grown in knowledge and reading abilities, she has not lost touch with the common things of life, including common people. If anything, she finds joy in being a "common mom" called to join The Great Conversation, share in fine culture, and relate rightly to all things in the pursuit of Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. And better yet, she gets to share all that with Mr. Kern and their little kernels. Some Topics and Ideas in this Episode Include:  What if Education Was Not Utilitarian?  Charlotte Mason's Place Within the Classical Tradition  Responding to the Herbartian "Mind Bucket" Synthetic Knowledge Before Analytical Knowledge  Charlotte Mason's Principal #4: "Authority is not a license to abuse children, or to play upon their emotions or other desires, and adults are not free to limit a child's education or use fear, love, power of suggestion, or their own influence over a child to make a child learn."

About Our GuestMargarita Mooney Suarez (Clayton)* is an Associate Professor in the Department of Practical Theology at Princeton Theological Seminary. She founded The Scala Foundation in 2016 and continues to serve as Scala's Executive Director. Scala Foundation's vision is to restore meaning and purpose to American culture by focusing on the intersection of artists (culture creators), liberal arts education, and religion (liturgy, personal prayer, theology).NotesIn this episode, Trae and Margarita Mooney Suarez (Clayton) take a closer look at the philosophical underpinning of modern education. The late American philosopher, psychologist, and educational reformer John Dewey maintains a massive influence on how contemporary schools and families think about learning and the role of the school and its teachers. Dewey's philosophy of education, while seemingly positive on some points, is ultimately grounded in the denial of the spiritual needs of students and a rejection of tradition. As a result, Dewey's views have contributed to the rise of beliefs and practices that effectively turn teachers into little more than bureaucratic therapeutic reformers, cut off from tradition with little to no approaches to teaching outside the scientific method applied across subjects. Today, most schools strip students of traditional beliefs and practices and expect them to build a future on no sure foundation. If we want to undo the influence of Dewey and restore a common unity between the church, the household, and the school, we will need some help. Enter Jacques Maritain and Luigi Giussani. * Margarita married David Clayton after this recording and now shares his last name.  Some topics and ideas in this episode include: Deep Rot in Our Education System  The Influence of Philosophy on Education  Jacques Maritain and Luigi Giussani's Concerns with John Dewey  Teachers as Beuarocratic Therapeutic Reformers Truth and The Scientific Method    All Education as Moral Education  The Freedom to Choose What's Right  Teaching as an Art  Common Unity Between Household, Church, and School   Tradition and Authority  Deconstruction, Questioning, and Scepticism  Resources and Books & Mentioned In This Episode After Virtue by Alasdair MacIntyre A Common Faith by John Dewey  Letters to a Young Education Reformer by Frederick M.

Click here for the show notesIn today's episode, we'll be talking to Jared from Safety Wing. Safety Wing is a very interesting company who are looking to help nomadic people and remote teams to take care of themselves while they are traveling through affordable travel insurance for individuals and teams but also in the future create a social safety net when living overseas for longer periods of time. It's kind of hard to explain, but I will let Jared do that. All I can say is that when Seb and I are looking to live more remotely, we will be considering Safety Wing.

Click here for the show notesIn today's episode, we are talking to  Faik Bouhrik The Vegan Stay: The NEW Platform Connecting Vegans and Sanctuaries. Instagram showed me one of the first posts from The Vegan Stay. When I saw the post I knew that this was someone that I wanted to talk to.  I reached out to Faik to ask if he'd like to be on the podcast and he said that he did and he kindly found the time during the launch of the platform to have a chat with me. By the time you listen to this podcast, the platform will be a few weeks old, but I have high hopes for this platform. Personally, I am really excited about it because when I travel, I love to visit or even better, stay in sanctuaries, and as someone who researches and looks for sanctuaries for our trips it is actually quite hard to do this, especially when it is a small sanctuary, is in a different language or perhaps doesn't have a web presence so this is answering a real need!

Scripture: Genesis 16, 21Title: Does God Hear Me? Does God See Me?Heavy credit: See below for bibliography“In Genesis, God sees, hears, knows and understands.” -JWBottom Line: When I take matters in my own hands and make a mess of things, God hears my cry, sees my misery and meets me there with revealing hope.Discussion questions for group and personal study:We encourage you to use our sermons and discussion questions to gather with some friends and talk about the passage together. Pray and ask God to guide you. He is faithful. Questions? Email us at info@GraceToday.netFind our sermons, podcasts, discussion questions and notes at https://www.gracetoday.net/podcastGoal: The goal isn't to ask every question. The goal is to encourage people to engage the scriptures together.CHAPTER 16 Questions, CSB Life Connections Bible (LCB):OPEN: Growing up, who was the main decision maker in your family?CONSIDER (vv. 1-2): What do you find most surprising about Sarai's words? What do you think drove Sarai to this course of action? CONSIDER (vv. 3-6): In your opinion, who is to blame for this situation? What problems are evident in Abram's family? What could have been done to resolve this conflict?CONSIDER (vv. 7-16): Where did Hagar find comfort or confidence in the angel's words? APPLY: What have you been praying about for a long time? Where can you find encouragement and support to stay on the right path until your prayers are answered?FOR GROUPS (vv. 13-14): Pass a mirror around the group as an object lesson. Encourage group members to hold the mirror and contemplate the God Who Sees.Opening:Bottom Line: God hears my cries and sees my misery. When I realize this, he will open my eyes leading me to see my hopeful future in Christ.Even as the constraints of the pandemic era have begun to lift, the current pressures felt by working moms have yet to alleviate.In a recent Barna survey, working mothers shared with Barna that they are feeling overwhelmed, navigating workplace shifts and desiring time to prioritize self-care, findings we'll take a closer look at in this article.Working mothers are twice as likely to feel overwhelmed as working fathers coming out of the pandemic.1. Working Mothers Are More Likely Than Working Fathers to Feel OverwhelmedWith moms historically having shouldered the burden of domestic responsibilities and care of children and loved ones—a pattern that COVID exasperated—it comes as no surprise that employed mothers are feeling overwhelmed, even forgotten.2. Mothers' Shift to Work-from-Home Dynamic Was More Drastic than Fathers'While many mothers left the workforce during the COVID-19 crisis, the ones who are currently employed—whether they stayed through the pandemic or are among the percentage of women reentering the workforce—continue to navigate changes in their work environments and work expectations. Barna's data surrounding these shifts hint at a lower level of satisfaction in working mothers' relationships both within and outside work, as well as lower satisfaction with their job in general, when compared to working fathers.3. Working Mothers Desire Time to Prioritize Reflection & Self-CareWorking mothers, more than working women without children in the home, tell Barna they could achieve better work-life balance if they “had more quiet time to regain perspective” (30% vs. 19%) They are also more likely than all other women to say better work-life balance could be achieved if they had “more opportunities to exercise” (30% vs. 18% working women without children in the home, 15% all other women).…Amid a season of transition, overwhelm and a struggle to balance personal and professional responsibilities, working mothers could benefit from the support of their community, including local church congregations. Yet pastors and congregants may not know how to best rally around working mothers in this time—or even be aware that they need to. Indeed, one in five Christian working moms (22% vs. 11% of working dads) says they are not attending church right now.Story: https://www.barna.com/research/challenges-working-moms/He is the God who sees/hears.Trusting yourself vs. Trusting God, the Promise KeeperTrusting the Flesh vs. Trusting the Spirit of GodFlesh vs. FaithEgypt (Land of Self-reliance) vs. Promise Land (Land of Resting Faith)God is our rescuer/promise-keeper/Hero—God / Angel of the LordHe hears/seesHe shows up aware because he caresHe brings hope, despite consequences**Salvation isn't fixing the flesh. Salvation is crucifying the flesh. We are called to come and die to self-reliance. Leave Egypt and enter the Promise Land.Outline based largely on Kent HughesI. Human Chaos (1-6)A. Scheming (1-2)B. Fall! (3-4)Sarai's action parallel to Eve'sAbram listened to his wife (2)Sarai took Hagar (3a) just as Eve took the fruit (3:6a)Sarai gave Hagar to her husband (3b) just as Eve gave the fruit to hers (3:6b)And in both cases the man willingly and knowingly partookFree-fall! “God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption” Galatians 6:7-8C. Chaos (5-6)Logically Sarai was wrong to place all the blame on Abram…it was her ideaBut actually she was right. He was the patriarch. He was the head of the house. God had spoken to him, not to her. He should never have allowed the situation. Abram was truly responsible for the “wrong” (lit. violence) she was suffering.Abram should have taken responsibility here.Abram should have affirmed his love for her here.Abram should have sought the wisdom of God in prayer.Instead, he capitulated to familiar Mesopotamian ways.He allowed Sarai to demote Hagar from wife/concubine back to slave.Sarai mistreated Hagar causing her to flee. Hagar = run awayNone of these three were honorable in how they handled things.Abram was the worst. He didn't really care for either of these women.Neither woman had compassion for the other. Sarai was the worst.Both women were victims. Hagar the greatest.This all started when people failed to trust God's word. (Trust in God)Instead they tried to take matters into their own hands. (Self-reliance/trust in self)II. Divine Intervention (7-16)A. Divine Discovery (7-9)Hagar fled scared.The Angel of the Lord found her—a stranger; God himself.This Angel knew everything. Saw, heard, knew……understood…authoritative “Return to your mistress and submit to her”Why? Because of the future…B. Divine Revelation (10-12) - God initiated this.Out of 6 promises in the OT for descendants, Hagar is the only woman to receive such a promise.God honored Hagar with many descendants. Fruit of the Abrahamic covenant.IshmaelYou will have a sonYou will name him Ishmael because the Lord has heard (Ishmael - God has heard)He will be nomadic Bedouin He will be in perpetual conflict with others around him (Sound like Arabs?)Ishmael's promise is part of the Abrahamic covenant—not it's ownAbram's and Sarai's shortcut would impact our world for millennia causing oceans of blood. Sin has consequences. When we take matters into our own hands and get out in front of God, this is what tends to happen:We mess things up; troubleWe sin and sin has consequencesWe blame each otherWe divide or move away from each otherWe hurt and hurt each other (and ourselves)We damage the future and miss out on some of the blessingsWe grieve God and quench his SpiritC. Hagar's Response (13-16) - As a result of God seeing her, she sees God and…She named God and that place“the God who sees me.” “the well of the living one who sees me”She worshiped God. Instead of reveling in the good news God gave, she revels in God himself.She believed and trusted God. This led to her submission and obedience.She obeyed God. She returned and submitted to Sarai.She came to understand that God hearsGod seesGod knows my situationGod understands what I'm going throughTherefore, she trusts, obeys and worships God in the midst of her difficult circumstances.ConclusionThe consequences of taking matters into our own hands can be tragic and devastating. We cannot change the past.However, God's mercy and grace leads to forgiveness when we confess our sins and move forward by grace through faith in Him.Perhaps you find yourself in the wilderness right now. Perhaps you feel abandoned, alone, and abused.God hears.God sees.God knows.God understands.God reveals, guides and provides if you'll look to him and rest in his protection and provision. He is faithful.Jen Wilkins shared these thoughts as she wrapped up her thoughts on this chapter:Paul calls us to, “Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain.”(‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2:14-16‬ ‭NIV‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/111/php.2.14-16.NIV)The Lord reminds us in the Psalms, “He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name.” (‭‭Psalms‬ ‭147:4‬ ‭NIV‬‬ https://psalm.bible/psalm-147-4)“And each of you—we—are one of those stars as we shine like stars in the sky of this dark world as we hold firmly to the word of life. And then we will be able to boast on the day of Christ that we did not run or labor in vain.” —JWPrayOther notes:Outline Bible - Genesis 16:VIII. THE COMPROMISE BY ABRAM (16:1-16)A. The rationale for his compromise (16:1-3)1. The problem (16:1): Sarai is still unable to bear a son.2. The plan (16:1-3): Sarai convinces Abram to marry Hagar, her servant, in order to have a son through her.B. The results of his compromise (16:4-16)1. Hagar's marriage to Abram (16:4): After Hagar conceives, she begins to look down upon Sarai.2. Hagar's mistreatment by Sarai (16:5-6): After suffering harsh treatment from the frustrated Sarai, Hagar flees into the desert.3. Hagar's meeting with the Lord (16:7-14)a. The Lord advises her (16:7-9): The angel of the Lord comes to her by a well and tells her, "Return to [Sarai] and submit to her authority.b. The Lord assures her (16:10-14): The angel of the Lord tells Hagar that she will have innumerable descendants through her unborn son, who will be called Ishmael ("God hears").4. Hagar's mothering of Ishmael (16:15-16): She gives birth to Ishmael when Abram is eighty-six years old.Notes from Jen Wilkin's message on Gen 12-16We should ask ourselves two questions every time we study scripture:What is true about God here? (Knowledge of God), andWhat is true about me in light of what is true about God? (Knowledge of self).Gen 16Hagar was a female, Egyptian slave!Remember, Egypt is the archetype of self-reliance.Sarai— taking matters into her own hands.This was a legal way to produce a legal heir using your maidservant to bear a child. But it's illegal in God's legal system.Abraham listens to Sarai instead of God. (Reminds me of Eden)How much say did Hagar really have in this plan? She's a victim, though not blameless.There's a lot of blame shifting going on here by Sarai and others. (Like in Eden)Sarai was physically (not just verbally) harsh with Hagar. “Mistreats” (NIV) in v. 6*Why this extreme reaction?Because up to this point, Sarai knew that her barrenness could have been because of Abram instead of her. But now that Hagar is pregnant, she realizes it's because of her.So she bears the full reproach/shame/scorn of a culture that said that the only thing a woman is good for is bearing children. Her world crashes.16:8 God is gently drawing Hagar in…Hagar is extremely vulnerable now. She's safer with Abram and Sarai even.Plus God gives her assurances about her and Ishmael's future.“There are no minor characters in the Story of God” -JWApparently, Abram (and maybe Sarai) believed Hagar's story as seen in that Abram names her son Ishmael instead of coming up with his own as was his right and role.“And God said…” “and it was so” (pattern)—Story of self-reliance vs. Sovereignty of God—Trust in me vs. Trust in TheeMy other notesIn previous chapters, Abram listened to God and exercised faith. But here he listened to his wife instead of God and revealed his unbelief.Both Abram and Sarai tried to help God's promise happen instead of resting in that promise and waiting on God to work in his perfect timing. For Isaac came 13 years later when Ishmael could live on his own. (No father going forward was devestating)Sarai blames God for her barren condition. This is actually true as God is sovereign. (Rom 8:28 applies here) But she hints he's not good in doing so which is not true.Hagar is quite the victim here. And yet when empowered does harm back.God does not acknowledge Hagar as Abram's wife even though this was a legal path to getting a legal heir. She is still a slave in God's eyes.First mention of the Angel of the Lord. Theophany? Christophany?“When God spoke to Abram, he was identified the second time as the angel of the Lord (22:1,15).”Ishmael — God will hear. (11)Hagar — flight, run away (LCB study notes)“GO TO MY SLAVE. Sarai knew of the Sumerian custom of using a concubine to obtain a male heir in the case of a wife's barrenness. A concubine did not have the same rights as the wife.” (LCB study notes)“Childlessness was a great burden to women, for it was seen as a lack of blessing from the Lord. Hagar's pregnancy placed her in a more favored position.” Ibid“16:12 WILD DONKEY. A promise of Ishmael's eventual nomadic lifestyle. EVERYONE'S HAND WILL BE AGAINST HIM. Points to the hostility between the de-scendants of Isaac (the Israelites) and Ishmael (the Ishmaelites).”Practical lesson: “Whenever we run ahead of God, there is trouble. The flesh loves to ‘help' God, but true faith is shown in patience (Is 28:16). We cannot mix faith and flesh, law and grace, promise and self-effort.” BKCReferences/Bibliography:“Preaching the Word” Genesis Commentary, Kent Hughes“The Bible Knowledge Commentary” by Walvoord, Zuck (BKC)“the Bible Exposition Commentary” by Warren Wiersbe (BEC)Genesis 12-16 Message by Jen Wilkin from her Genesis studyOutline Bible, D WillmingtonLife Connection Bible, Lyman Coleman, study notesNIV Study Bible (NIVSB)ESV Study Bible

How can we make transport more human? On this episode, I'm exploring the human risk dynamics of transport — both from the perspective of the traveller, but also from the perspective of those who run and design transport networks and policy.Every single one of us has reasons why we want to get from A to B and usually, we have to make choices about how we do that - whether we walk, cycle, drive a car, ride a motorbike, catch public transport or get on a plane. There's human risk in the decisions we make around how we travel - for us and for others. Equally, those who design transport policy, manage networks and run travel operators also run human risk in what they do.My guest on this episode is Pete Dyson. He's a behavioural scientist who advises the UK's Department of Transport on how to apply behavioural science in policy. And he's the co-author of a fascinating new book Transport for Humans: are we nearly there yet? The other co-author is Rory Sutherland, who has appeared on the show before. You'll find links to those episodes at the end of these show notesIn my discussion with Pete, we look at what travel means and how our views on it are shaped by influences that might not immediately be obvious. He's got a host of anecdotes that I guarantee will make you think differently about travel and transport. And one of the things I find fascinating is that the ideas he shares aren't just applicable to transport contexts. We can use the same thinking for areas like compliance and ethics.

I first met Eddie in a Clubhouse room of our Vegan Travel Club a couple of months ago. As soon as he started talking and I looked at his bio I knew I wanted to talk to him on the podcast. He grew up in the border town of Brownsville, Texas, son of Mexican immigrants and through his mother and grandmother, he fell in love with food. Since then he has spent a lot of time in Mexico and with his love of Mexican food, he is taking you our listeners throughout a culinary tour of Mexico. We'll be learning about unique ingredients, special towns, the vibe of certain regions, and even some food history.This episode was one of my favorites to record and edit because Eddie's enthusiasm is just contagious. I defy you to not want you to pack your bags and head on a year-long discovery of Mexico!

Chris is a long-term Los Angeles resident who operates a mail-order vegan bakery that sends beautifully created boxes of vegan baked goods all over the US. In this episode, we are going to be talking about different neighborhoods in LA.

In this episode, Andy Hertzfeld shares his inspiring story from childhood through to creating the Macintosh and on to General Magic including the highs and lows along the way.We discuss his career and friendship with Steve Jobs and what it takes to hold a seemingly impossible vision, build a pioneering team capable of achieving it and, most importantly, when and how best to execute.There are many great stories in this episode, and anecdotes of a pivotal time in tech history but, best of all, Andy shares the lessons he learned from the successes, and the failures.------This episode was hosted by me, Danielle Newnham - a recovering founder, author and writer who has been interviewing tech founders and innovators for ten years, and produced by Jolin Cheng. https://twitter.com/daniellenewnhamAndy Hertzfeld https://twitter.com/andyhertzfeld------NotesIn this episode, Andy and I discuss:"Marc" which is Marc Porat - the co-founder of General Magic with Andy and Bill Atkinson. In 1990, Marc wrote the following note to John Sculley, imagining a truly smart phone: "A tiny computer, a phone, a very personal object . . . It must be beautiful. It must offer the kind of personal satisfaction that a fine piece of jewellery brings. It will have a perceived value even when it's not being used... Once you use it you won't be able to live without it."

Click here for the full show notesIn today's episode, we'll be talking to Kim Giovacco. She owns a small group travel company called Veg Jaunts and Journeys.  She runs vegan small group tours (like us) and she is going to be talking about the pros and cons of group travel. If you ever shrugged off the idea of participating in a group tour, then this episode is for you. We might be biased, but we love group travel for all the reasons we discuss in this episode. Kim like us has lots of trips planned for the future so make sure you go to her website and see all of her offerings.Like a couple of the recent podcast episodes, this episode was recorded before the COVID pandemic.  There will be concerns people might have about traveling in a group right now. Of course, we absolutely understand. You should only travel when you feel comfortable to do so. However, I hope this what's your appetite and gives you some information for when you feel ready to travel.

Click here for all the show notesIn today's episode, we'll be talking to Anne-Lise. Anne-Lise is a tour guide that we met for the first time a couple of years ago. We hired her for a couple of days when we were putting the finishing touches on our Dordogne trip. We wanted to speak to someone to just talk through the trip and make sure that all the calculations that we had made regarding the itinerary would work and that we were making the maximum use of the time we had. We also wanted to meet her as we had booked her for the week of the trip to Dordogne to be the tour guide for our trip. This is one amazing thing about joining a group trip is that depending on the trip, you can have a tour guide taking you around. Not only do you have someone that is extremely knowledgeable about the destination, but they also have incredible storytelling skills, but they are also trained in customer service and have incredible interpersonal skills and advocate for you. We always like to find the best guides for our trips and get a chance to meet them first which is why we wanted to meet Anne-Lise.A bit about Anne-Lise. French of course, after having lived in England for a year as a Literature student, and having worked in Spain for another year as a trilingual secretary and guide to promote a medieval association, she got her guiding License in Nice, before settling for 5 years in Paris.While in Paris, It was an opportunity to approach many subjects and periods, from Versailles and the splendors of the Sun King Century to the Paris of Hemingway, with a passage through the follies of the cabarets at the turn of the 20th century.During this period, Anne-Lise also worked in the medieval building site of Guedelon which is an incredible project in Burgundy. A castle is being built here, using all traditional methods, you can actually visit this incredible place. It was here she learned first hand about castellology (the study of castles), and many crafts such as masonry, carpentry, stone cutting, etc.Eight years ago, Anne-Lise fell in love with the extraordinary heritage of Dordogne and dove headfirst into Prehistory and cave art.But Dordogne isn't only about prehistory, it is rich with Romanesque architecture, perfectly preserved medieval villages, and an incredible amount of castles and fortresses, and Anne-Lise considers it her duty to honor and share this wonderful heritage.When we initially met Anne-Lise, we of course told her that it was a vegan trip and she surprised us by having a lot of knowledge about the vegan lifestyle. Anne-Lise is a vegetarian and animal lover. We discovered that she does some trap neuter and release work of cats in some of the villages around the Dordogne, it was not until after the call that I realized that she actually fosters cats, socializes them, and gets them adopted cats stray kitties, and educated and inspires others to do the same through her YouTube channel which I linked to in the show notes. It's in French but you can see how hard she is working to rescue and improve the prospects of kitties in the Dordogne area.In today's episode, we will be learning about Dordogne as a destination. Why would people want to go? Is it worth going even if you are not a huge history fan? Why it's good for families, Anne-Lise's favorite castles, towns, and the activities and destinations you simply must not miss. 

Click to see the full show notesIn today's episode, we'll be talking to Eunice Reyes from Rated V Food. She has a beautiful YouTube channel and she is talking to us from beautiful Valencia in Spain! Eunice is a self-confessed vegan foodie and is passionate about sharing the amazing vegan food from around the world and she wants to be your tour guide. While she could talk a lot about her travels, given the current situation and the fact that it is just not safe to travel, we decided to talk about how we can scratch that travel itch that so many of us have right now. We know that probably every single person listening to this is experiencing some sort of restriction right now. The news cycle might be getting to us and we might even be stuck in a bit of a rut. At the time of recording this podcast, we had not had a night away from our home since August. It's now the end of January! This is very unusual for us. Usually travel is a nice way for us to get out of the routine, get refreshed and renewed and like I say, this is really unusual for us. So much so, I have started doing some armchair travel, and I have chosen Italy.The idea for this podcast episode was inspired by a BBC Travel article that I stumbled upon just a few days ago. I will link it in the show notes of course. The story tells the reader about Luis Martinez, a Cuban bus porter who has written literally thousands of vivid poems about cities around the world, despite never leaving his homeland. From 1961 until 2014 Cuban citizens could not leave the country without permission. Luis writes with vivid detail and accuracy poems on cities and landmarks around the world as if he has actually been there. How did he do it? Well, he read books, studied old atlases and talked to tourists that he came across in his job as a bus porter and remember he did all this without the internet. As you might know, the internet was really rather slow to arrive in Cuba!  I find this story really inspiring, the idea that he was not only able to explore the world just by reading and talking with people but also managed to make a lot of beautiful poetry and I hope this episode will inspire you to travel from your armchair, choose a destination and dig deeper into it.In this episode, Eunice and I share many different ways to get out and explore the world whether you are unable to leave the house in the case of a full lockdown, or perhaps unable to leave the country you are living in. We really hope that this will inspire you a little bit to explore this beautiful world even if you cannot physically do it.

Click here for the full show notesIn today's episode, we'll be talking to Wendy from the popular vegan travel blog, The Nomadic Vegan. We have actually had Wendy on the show before when we talked about her epic train ride through Russia which I will link in the show notes, but I always love talking to Wendy and I think you might really enjoy this episode, especially at this particular moment.This episode is all about learning languages and learning languages for travel. You will come to realize that Wendy is very qualified to talk about this topic.  Before I get started though, I really need to explain a couple of things about this episode recording. Firstly, I recorded this episode a really long time ago, in fact, it was last March in 2020. At that time, I was interviewing many experts in vegan travel to make a vegan travel online summit. There had never been a vegan travel online summit and I put a lot of work into it. However, the coronavirus put a stop to all of that. I wanted to continue putting together the online summit and thought I would just delay the release of it for just a few months. Sadly though, it never felt like the right time to release it. Then, I came to realize that everyone was doing all sorts of summits, online classes, school, and of course working from home.  It made me think that perhaps right now is not a good time for a vegan travel online summit so I decided to abandon it for now. However, there is a ton of excellent content that I recorded with some fantastic vegans that needed to be shared with the world. A word of warning, because this was not recorded to be an episode of the podcast, you will see us referring to the summit a couple of times, please overlook that!Please look at the blog post for this episode as all the links to everything we talk about are right there.
